Comment Re:boom & bust of the free market (Score 1) 441

how do you propose to get around the problems of regulatory capture and tax havens moving money away from the economy? They second is not actually much of a problem but the first is what has caused 99% of all problems with the Freemarket that we don't actually have.

Just saying, "we wont allow regulatory capture" is not enough. How will you not allow it? How will you get it passed? How will you insure it isn't abused? Living the the land of roses and daises where everyone agrees that the right thing is actually the right thing and we all follow together is great. But until we are assimilated by The Borg that is not going to happen. Freedom and the right to keep the fruits of your labor are the only things that we can hope for.

I think this is a side effect of the information age. Where we know about everything long before it ever becomes available. It makes things look like there are only tiny improvements on previous concepts. The missing point is that it has always been incremental improvements. Before it was always concentrated to a specific area and you may not ever hear of it until several iterations past. Instead of getting something 10x better every 20 years we get something 2x better every 3-4. We still come out ahead. It just feels less so.
